Webinar Abstract: During this webinar we will discuss different options to make the transition to sustainable transport, from an energy system perspective. The electrical energy vector is compared with other “clean” alternatives for mobility. The main shift builds on a large-scale electrification of cars and freight vehicles, though this will not go unnoticed for certain parts of the electricity system. For instance, smart charging will become a necessity. The options for shipping and air travel will be discussed as well.
